Difference is if flipping FS/GS multiple times, user may check the base from LDT.
But I don't have strong will to keep arguing this; Markus or somebody might

The whole point as I understand is to avoid any regression on legacy ptracers.
If a strong confidence lies on the simple version, let me. My first thought bought
this in fact.

Thanks,
